"Subdance is proud to announce their debut EP by the Italian techno music legend Lory D! Last year we already heard some brand new things from Lory, when, after 6 years without any new releases, he published two new twelve inches on the Scottish label Wireblock. Plissken on Subdance is another stroke of genius from the Roman as he comes up with two more classic examples of his unmistakable trademark sound; sombre and enigmatic, disturbing and fascinating, euphoric and energetic, powerful and direct! The A side's 'Bank Robbery' is a fresh interpretation of the track of the same name from John Carpenter's Escape from New York soundtrack. Lory musically transports Carpenter's apocalyptic visions of the last days into the new millennium. The brooding bass line and haunting atmospheres push the listener to an otherworldly dimension. This is Lory's own masterpiece. Lory D in Technicolor and cinemascope! The B side's 'Disso Bass' aims for the dance floors immediately. A perfect techno-electro track where exploding synthesizer cascades meet fragile melodies and archetypal Lory D bass lines, each with a mind of their own. Redshape, another techno music legend, is responsible for the mastering of both tracks."

"Lory D is a name you will find missing from the list of celebrated dark techno producers, e.g. Jeff Mills, The Mover, Lenny Dee and the Aphex Twin although his music, is as essential. He's an ex Italian D.M.C champion who has been playing since 1989 and owns the seminal Roman techno label Sounds Never Seen. He was one of the first people to bring the Acid House and Hardcore sounds of London to Rome, where he is regarded as something of a god. His inspiration comes from Rome's nighttime metropolis, the darkness and beauty of the city and the overwhelming feeling of the underground raves he plays. His musical influences are as wide ranging as Aphex Twin, Suicide, Drexciya, Spk, Ligeti, Frankie Bones, The Mover and Underground Resistance. Sounds Never Seen has released a clutch of twisted metal soundtracks in recent years... never more than 500 copies pressed and all fanatically collected by likeminded freaks. All the records are most effective floor fillers, all are 'sounds never seen'. Together with Rephlex label-mates, Leo Anibaldi, Bochum Welt and the D'Arcangelo brothers, Lory D best represents the sound of Italy, or even the 'sound of Rome', since 1991. Lory's music is fearless, original and strong Electro and Techno. There isn't much of that around and the world needs to hear this album."
